According to police, Perry bought a few items at the store, left the business and returned a few minutes later to buy oil for his truck. When the clerk opened the cash register, Perry forced his way behind the counter and snatched the cash from the drawer, police said. He then ran outside to a sport-utility vehicle and sped away. Perry's son was seen on a surveillance camera walking out of the Circle K moments before the crime was committed.

A witness saw Perry's license plate number, which led police to his eastern New Orleans home.

Slidell Police and the U.S. Marshal's Service tried to serve Perry with an arrest warrant at his house Wednesday morning, but he resisted arrest by trying to jump out of a second-story window.

Authorities apprehended Perry unharmed and booked him into the Orleans Parish jail while he waits for a transfer to St. Tammany Parish to face his robbery charge.

Perry will face additional charges because he committed the robbery with his son in tow, Slidell police said. Those charges were not specified.
